REVIEW & GIVEAWAY! - Nutrimetics nc Hydra Brilliance 50th Anniversary Lipsticks...

This year nutrimetics is celebrating 50 years in the beauty business, and one of the ways they are marking the occasion is through a special release of their stunning nc Hydra Brilliance lipsticks in the shades most loved by customers over the years.  There are six in the range, and having fallen big time for the two I recently purchased (review HERE) I jumped at the chance to pick them up at a special pre-launch pack price available to home buyers...


The Hydra Brilliance formula is so creamy and long-wearing and contains Vitamins E & C to keep lips moist, soft and colour-rich all day. You can see how glam these "Fan Favourites" shades are below - SO gorgeous, from left to right they are Frosted Grape, Aztec Bronze, Cupcake, Marshmallow, Coral Silk & Lobster Bisque. And wait till you see the swatches! ...


So let's get on with what they look like on the lips, well on my lips at least. I've done my utmost to capture the true beauty of these colours...

Frosted Grape - I think this is my favourite mauvey pink ever!

Aztec Bronze - a fabulous bold and intense deep red...

Cupcake - a deliciously soft and delicate pastel pink...

Marshmallow - adore this autumnal browny red...

Coral Silk - top of the coral list in my collection...

Lobster Bisque - the name is perfect, I can just taste it lol...

This time around I was determined to photograph them before I used them, so they've been sitting in a box untouched (such self-control lol!) for a couple of weeks, and I planned to do the swatches this long weekend. And then to my surprise and absolute delight, a parcel containing a SECOND set of these luscious lip slickers was on my doorstep on Friday, courtesy of the generous marketing team at nutrimetics. Soooooo...I'm excited to say I'm giving away a complete set to one of you faithful followers - woo hoo! ...

    9. I've been wearing Frosted Grape for about 20 years I reckon - I love it! I stocked up years ago but am down to my last tube. I didn't know they still made it, and I am happy to see they still do. Well deserved colour for the anniversary collection. Fingers crossed and lips puckered for this one Kats!

    11. Frosted grape, Aztec bronze and Marshmallow are fabulous. They all look good on you though. I would definitely get another frosted grape if it’s a limited edition.
